Can users from Lemmy instances see/interact with Magazines from kbin? If so, what is the proper way to search for one on another instance so it is “discovered”? I can foresee a problem with the same or very similar community being created across several Lemmy instances, all competing for engagement. What’s the best way to solve this?
Kbin intends to be a middle ground between federated Reddit and Tumblr. It provides an interface DESIGNED around both link aggregation (Reddit/Lemmy) and microblogging (Twitter/Mastodon).
The point of it’s existence is that someone saw an opportunity to make something they thought would be cool or useful, and so they did. Evidently, by the influx of users and content for the platform and the amount of people that interact with Lemmy and Mastodon through KBin, lots of other people do too.
You don’t need to disparage it’s existence just because you don’t want to use it. 🙂
I didn’t realize it had another usecase, that’s interesting!
